I need an apprentice !
My weekends fall on Sun-Mon, and Mon night is when I catch up on my figures and data input into the PP Generator program. Today I had to do inventory at work so my time has been compromised tonight.
My most detailed figs are done for the big three NY tracks. I watch replays, make notes, all that jazz...and that's done basically on a daily basis.
No biggie - it's only one track.
Here's the problem:
Keeping up with all the feeder tracks that I never (or rarely) play; like Mth, Prx and FL.
Throw in the fact that I make figs for almost all Stks races run on dirt in the USA and I'm a busy dude....gotta follow CD, Del, SA and so on...which reminds me that I have to get a chart & pars together for PrM
I added a few tracks this year (CT, FL and now apparently PrM) and the workload is ridiculous.
I need an apprentice, and (as Quinn wrote) preferably a young coed with a penchant for numbers
I also need to get to work.

Really dating yourself there with the use of the term "co-ed."

Sounds like a "line" or two might just what you need, POT!

Sounds more like a need for a graduate student, or, maybe a research project.
Free labor either way.

That ship has sailed.
Back in the early 90s I needed some math tutoring with a problem I had. Called the local university and got great help and the guy was thrilled to get $15 and hour.
Last time I looked for some grad student help, the smallest quote I got was $125 an hours.
I guess the starving students aren't starving so much any more.

Solution: become an adjunct prof then you can have your free labor. Just as long as you are not applying for grants or funding from a biomed company or the such. Pure research, for the sake of research.

I wonder what they did with the old dirt.
Given the venue is located in a nice broad alluvial plain, I would hope they'd go and find some dirt nearby for the return to a natural surface. But, knowing the CA Coastal Commission along with the various ELF types, that won't happen. They probably have to buy it from China.
